2025 STEM Scholarship Recipients’ Feedback

“My first laboratory experience, and meeting students who were already studying, quickly lured me into choosing molecular biology. This scholarship is the reason I was able to pursue the career path I wanted – and for a young and ambitious woman, that means everything. Four years of work during my bachelor’s gave me everything I needed, both good grades and plenty of laboratory experience, so I became one of the seven international students in a class of fifty.”

“I have been passionate about chemistry since I was 15 years old, when my teacher gave me the idea to participate in the national olympiad. From then on, I understood how fascinating this science is and how it can be used to understand the world around us. I believe that the reason I was able to stand out from the other candidates and be selected to this prestigious institution was the 4 years I spent participating in olympiads, going to laboratories and deepening my knowledge.”
